COMBINED POLE AND SHADE-ROLLER HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 629,323, dated July 18, 1899.

Application filed May 15, 1899. Serial 1T0 716,868. (No model.)

To all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, 'SToKnLY D. DILTS, of the city of Decatur, county of Macon, and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Combined Pole and Shade-Roller Hanger, of which the following is a specifica tion.

This invention is intended to provide a be readily connected with and detached from a wi'ndow-casin g and that will provide brackets or hangers for a shade-roller. It is exemplified in the structure hereinafter described, and it is defined in the appended claims.

In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan of a curtain-bar and shade-roller hanger constructed in accordance with 'my-invention. Fig. 2 is a permembers of the structure. Fig. 3 is a perspective representation of the opposite end member. Fig. dis asection through the central or intermediate member on line a: in Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is an elevation of a fragment of the intermediate member, showing the inner face thereof.

The device consists of an intermediate bar 4, which constitutes the greater part of the curtain-pole, and two end bars 3 and 5, which on mplete the curtain-pole, provide for readily attaching the pole to the window-casing and detaching it therefrom and supply bearings for the shade-roller. The bar 4 is made of thin metal, and its edges 4 are turned over parallel with its body, but separate therefrom, so as to form slide-bearings for bars 3 'and 5.

3,then extended in a straight line parallel with the body of the bar, as shown at 3", and then bent outward toward the body, as shown at 3. Extension 3* has a slot 3 in its under surface, and extension 3 has a hole 3"; Bar 5 has diverted extensions 5, 5 and 5 corresponding with extensions 3, 3 and 3, respectively, except that the directions are reversed, so that one bar provides a left-hand hanger and the other a right-hand hanger. Extension 5 has a slot 5- in its lower edge, and extension 5 has a slot 5 in its upper'edge.

The body portions of bars 3 and 5'are insertedinto the slideways in bar 4,, and they justment in the length of the pole. The extensions h and 5 are long enough to hold the pole the proper distance from the windowcasing, the extensions 3 and 5 approximate in'length the width of the casing-strips, and the extensions 3 and 5 project far enough from the casings to form brackets .for the shade-roller.

' The casing-strips 1,which are shown in secare long enough to provide for ordinary ad to or detached from the window-casing by the simple expedient of raising or lowering the slotted extensions 3 and 5 out of or into engagement with the screws. The stems of the screws fit into slots 3 and 5, and the heads bear against the outer surfaces of extensions 3 and 5 thereby sustaining the hangers against downward pull and holding themv against outward tilt.

The pole or curtain-bar is considerably longer than the shade-roller, owing to the peculiar construction of the hanger-bars, and it may be made to appear still longer, if desired, by attaching ornaments to extensions 3 and 5. I

The invention is shown in its simplest form, and it will be readily seen that modifications may be made in many of the details without departing from the spirit of the invention as expressed in the following claims.

What I claim is1 1. A curtain-bar having its ends extended first sidewise, then toward each other and then toward the body of the bar, the lastnamed extensions being provided with bear ings for a shade-roller, substantially as specisions being provided with bearings for a shade-roller, and the second-named extensions having slots in their under surfaces to engage the pins substantially as specified.

3. A telescoping curtain-bar composed of a central bar forming a slideway, and end bars having their outer ends extended first sidewise, then toward each other and. then toward the bodies of the bars, the last-named extensions having bearings for a shade-roller and the second-mentioned extensions having slots in their under surfaces, snbstantiallyas speci- 1 o fled.

In testimony whereof I sign my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

S'IOKELY- I). DILTS.
